Water table in the surficial aquifer and potentiometric surface of the Floridan Aquifer in selected well fields, west-central Florida, May 1977

The coastal parts of Pasco, Pinellas and Hillsborough are undergoing extensive urban development. The Floridan aquifer is the area 's principal water supply. Potentiometric and water-table maps were prepared in order to determine the effect of groundwater withdrawals in selected well fields in west-central Florida. These maps were prepared in May 1977 to capture the annual low-water-level period. Declines in the potentiometric surface ranged from 3 feet in the Starkey well field to 25 feet in the Sun City well field. (Woodard-USGS)

Saltwater intrusion in the Floridan aquifer, coastal Citrus and Hernando Counties, Florida, 1975

The coastal parts of Citrus and Hernando Counties, Fla., are undergoing extensive urban development along U.S. Highway 19. The Floridan aquifer, a thick sequence of limestone and dolomite , is the principal source of water supply for the coastal parts of these two counties. The construction of canals that penetrate the Floridan aquifer, deficient rainfall during 1964-75, and pumping of ground water, have caused saltwater to intrude the aquifer. A map shows the inland extend of that intrusion as of 1975. The report is based on field data collected in 1964, 1973, and 1975. (Woodard-USGS)

Potentiometric surface of Floridan aquifer May 1975, and change of potentiometric surface 1969 to 1975, Southwest Florida Water Management District and adjacent areas

Maps showing the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer for May 1975, and changes of potentiometric surface from 1964 to 1975 were prepared for areas in southwest Florida. Contours and color codes describe water-level changes. The larger map, scale 1:500,000, reflects the water-level changes from 1969-75. The smaller map shows the changes from January 1964 to May 1969.
